Olivier Gramaccia
At Sirris, I help companies turn their technological ideas into structured, funded and market-oriented innovation projects. I develop activities and partnerships in the fields of smart products, medtech, life sciences, and the food and process industries.
I identify new opportunities, connect companies’ needs with research expertise and build collaborations at Belgian and European level.
Are you looking to develop an R&D project, find partners or identify funding to bring a new technology to market? I would be happy to discuss how I can help.
